Original Abstract Submitted

A refrigerator including a storage compartment and a cold air duct to guide cold air to the storage compartment, the cold air duct including a front plate facing the storage compartment, the front plate including a front body with a first coupling portion, a rear plate detachably coupled to the front plate, the rear plate including a rear body with a second coupling portion, and a slit in the rear body so that the second coupling portion is elastically deformable, and a heat insulating member between the front plate and the rear plate. The first coupling portion is coupled to the second coupling portion. The first coupling portion and the second coupling portion are decouplable by an external force pressing on the first coupling portion.
